Great location, beautiful on the river, well stocked house for all the kitchen items anyone would need. Very comfortable and fun times by our family at our recent stay.
It was nice to have a beautiful setting to gather together. We enjoyed a couple of evenings with family and friends at the house on Elk River. It was a great experience.
I come to the Port Orford area regularly for work. This summer I brought some of my family and enjoyed our stay. The host was an excellent communicator and the home felt...homey. We enjoyed the location in nature and so close to outdoor recreation.
Lovely place on the river to visit, swim, fish, and enjoy watching the otters play. We visited the fish hatchery just up the road and enjoyed nature. Nice place to unwind.
The location of the property is awesome. It's on the river and right down the street from the hatchery which is a popular drop in spot for fishing on the Elk River. Kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking tools and utensils you need. Great place to stay.
We were a group of 11 plus 3 dogs and it met our needs well. Plenty of blankets and towels. The river was beautiful and very relaxing. Beach is less that a 15 min drive away.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of room to spread out while still being together. Loved the space on the deck. Enjoyed the additional seating through out the home so that people could gather easily! Saw a few deer, went upriver to a great swimming hole, spent time at the ocean and went on the jet boats in Gold Beach! Highly recommend this home to bring family together in a peaceful relaxing setting!
We had a family get together and used the house as our home base. It was so nice that we could stay there and have local family come over for a couple of BBQs. The river was right at the back and we all loved it. Plus the fish hatchery next door was an interesting add to our adventure. You could not get a better spot.
We had a great time at this property. The house was clean and very well stocked with everything you could need. The owner, Rita and her husband were delightful and very helpful. Unfortunately, we were evacuated a day early due to the Anvil Fire. We hope the house makes it because we love to return at another time.
My husband and dog and i had a great time.
I especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck early in the mornings overlooking the river
Watching the wildlife.we got to play tons of fetch with our dog in the river. We also enjoyed floating in the river with a inner tube and inflatable matt provided by the nice owner
Amazing! My family and I absolutely loved it. Plenty of space for everyone, plenty of things to keep the kiddos busy, BBQ on the deck. We are from Washington State all the way up north for a family wedding and was able to get together with all our family for an evening BBQ before we headed out. Views, quiet, really relaxing. Deck is a little unstable in a few spots, and the BBQ wasn’t working but my husband was able to get it fixed. Highly recommend! We plan to do another stay at the same location next year!
This place was perfect for us. And plenty room for a dive boats!!
We didn’t get the Dive as much as we wanted to. But it’s all good mother nature was just blowing too hard. I would definitely recommend this place for a group of people. I waited too long to book it for the Fourth of July. But went to places that good it’s going to go fast. Thank you again, Guy.

This place is paradise. Elk River is clear and beautiful. The house side of the river has has a sandy eddy for children to safely play in while the other side is deep for swimmers.
We loved the quiet along with no light pollution. We saw a meteor shower.
The kids were fascinated by the fish hatchery just a short walk away. It was fun watching occasional cars pass over the river on a swinging bridge. The 2 engineers in our group had quite a conversation over its construction.
We ate all meals on the large deck. The home is roomy, clean and well stocked.
My now husband and I stayed at this property leading up to our wedding which we celebrated locally in Langlois. This was a great location where we were able to relax and spend time with friends and family, and be able to include our dog Rocco. There was plenty of space, ample parking, and a comfort in which the property provided.
We did notice that the house was not fully cleaned upon our arrival, the entry floor was not fully swept, there was a bag of trash in the master bathroom vanity, and the kitchen counter tops were very dusty. The master bedroom sliding door lock to the deck was broken and the dining room screen to the deck had holes near the handle.
Overall though we enjoyed our stay and the property fulfilled our needs!

Our yearly camping trip to a new place
We took a chance and went somewhere new for our yearly camping trip. When we got there, opened the door and the smell of mold hits you right in the face. I was not thrilled after that. Cleaning needs to be worked on. There were spiders everywhere. Spiderwebs in every coroner you could think of. The jacuzzi tub works if you’re lucky. The bbq was a joke. It has 1 burner that works, one that kinda works(better off not using it), one that doesn’t work at all, and one missing completely.
The kids ran a bath, the water came out brown.
For the amount we paid to stay there, I expected things to be better. I can’t say we would be staying there again.
Fantastic location, Fantastic view of the river, let us check in early. The house is lot nicer than the pictures make it seem. Great place for a family get away. Right next to a really great place to swim just up the road by the big rocks.
We were very very pleased with this place - everything was very comfortable and anything we needed was available. We would be quite happy to stay again should the need arise. Thank you for such a wonderfully pleasant timecaway from our lives!!!
